Third Suspect Apprehended in Violent Manchester Shooting Case

Manchester, NH – A significant breakthrough has been made in a violent shooting case that rocked the city in March, as police announced the arrest of a third suspect. Jonathan Santiago-Torres, 30, was taken into custody on Thursday, May 16, facing serious charges including conspiracy to commit attempted murder, reckless conduct, and falsifying physical evidence.

The arrest stems from an incident on March 18, when emergency services responded to reports of a shooting on Hayward Street.

Officers arrived to find a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was rushed to a local hospital, where he received critical medical attention for his injuries. Following the attack, Manchester police immediately launched a comprehensive investigation, appealing to the public for any information that could lead to an apprehension.

Detectives have been diligently working on the case, which has already seen two other individuals arrested.

Angel Soto-Rivera and Pedro Rivera were previously taken into custody in connection with the same violent act. Santiago-Torres’s apprehension marks a crucial step forward in unraveling the full scope of the incident.

According to police statements, Santiago-Torres is alleged to have played a role in the aftermath of the shooting, specifically accused of discarding the firearm used in the commission of the crime.

This charge of falsifying physical evidence highlights the complexity of the investigation and the alleged efforts to conceal evidence.

All three suspects are now facing justice for their alleged involvement in the March shooting. The Manchester Police Department continues its commitment to ensuring the safety of its community and bringing those responsible for violent crimes to account.

The arrests underscore the relentless efforts of law enforcement to solve complex cases and protect residents from harm.
